• Thermal Energy

• Temperature

What is the equation to measure change in Thermal Energy?

• Q= ∆mct

• Q=mc

• Q=mc∆t

• m=QC

. The temperature of a piece of iron increases more than that of a sample of water with the same mass when the same amount of thermal energy is added. This is because __________.

When you put an ice cube in a cup of juice,...

• Heat is transferred from the juice to the ice

• Heat exchange occurs

• Heat is transferred from the ice to the juice

When you heat water in an aluminum pot,

• The pot heats up before the water because the specific heat of aluminum is higher than that of water

• The pot heats up before the water because the specific heat of aluminum is lower than that of water

• They heats up together
